Whether a simple upgrading of a bathroom or laundry to building a second storey or even raising an entire home, home renovations are a complex undertaking.
Since the pandemic began, Australians are spending more time than ever at home, causing many to reevaluate their living situation. This has been further fuelled by government incentives such as HomeBuilder, which offered grants renovations deemed significant.
Renovating a home is not a cheap endeavour. This is why it is vital to select the right renovator.
While some renovation companies specialise in certain parts of the home, such as kitchens and bathrooms, others can be more niche. For example, some focus on fit-outs such as home offices or even build wine cellars and outdoor areas.
Many do provide a full-service – which includes designing, gaining council approval, sourcing the right materials and overall project management.
When deciding which renovation company to perform diligence and ask the right questions.
Research renovators. Most have an online presence that includes a portfolio of their previous work. This can be important when seeing if your dream project is aligned with one they have previously done.
Check if they have the appropriate licenses and qualifications like you would do with any tradesperson. If in doubt, ask directly and check online – many government websites allow you to look up a tradesperson’s licence and registration status.
This leads to the next category – open communication.
It is vital for homeowner and home renovation companies to communicate clearly right from the onset. Be clear on the end goals for your project, costs and timeframes, while planning for any contingencies that may occur during construction.
